Ingredients:
– 6 to 8 pieces of fresh duck eggs
– 1/4 cup of sea salt
– 1/4 cup of brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon of black tea leaves
– Wood chips or sawdust
Instructions:
1. Clean the Eggs
Start by cleaning the eggs well in water to remove any dirt or debris on their surface. Once cleaned, dry them with a cloth or paper towel.
2. Prepare the Brine
In a saucepan, mix together salt, brown sugar and black tea leaves with two cups of water. Bring it to boil over medium heat. Once boiled, remove it from heat and let it cool down completely.
3. Soak the Eggs in Brine
In a glass container or any other non-reactive container with lid that can fit all your eggs neatly without any crowding or touching each other, pour your cooled brine mixture over your eggs until they are completely covered with this liquid. Cover tightly with lid and allow for them to sit in brine at room temperature for at least 24 hours before proceeding further.
4. Dry and Smoke the Eggs
After at least one day has passed since soaking them in brine solution and ensuring that they are properly cured with enough time to absorb flavors adequately, then remove each egg individually from brine mixture using tongs – gently wiping off excess liquid solution sheets using paper towels – transport these eggs onto grill grates made specially used for smoking meats like ribs etc…or into smoker box fitted onto my outdoor grill grate – please use wood chips sawdust as fuel source such that smoke will infuse these eggs with deliciously dense and rich smoky flavor.
5. Cool and Store the Eggs
Once your eggs are taken off the smoker grill, allow them to cool down at room temperature for some time before storing in a tightly sealed container such as an airtight jar or zip-lock bag. You can leave them at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
